Is moxibustion effective in treating adenomyosis?

Moxibustion is made from mugwort leaves, and adenomyosis is a common gynecological disease. There are also claims that moxibustion can treat adenomyosis, but the decision on this matter depends on the condition of the disease. Moxibustion actually has an auxiliary effect in treating adenomyosis, but it cannot cure it.

1. Moxibustion plays an auxiliary role

Moxibustion is a method of stimulating acupuncture points or specific parts of the body surface with the heat generated by moxibustion materials made of mugwort leaves. It adjusts the disordered physiological and biochemical functions of the human body by stimulating the activity of meridian qi, and has the effect of warming the meridians, promoting qi and activating blood circulation. It is suitable for symptoms of excessive cold and dampness, and stagnation of meridians, such as joint pain, skin numbness, etc. Therefore, moxibustion can play an auxiliary role in the recovery of adenomyosis. If you want to really treat it, you still need a professional formula. You can use the Chinese medicine Fuyan Pills for conditioning and treatment. This will be more professional. Of course, moxibustion can be used as an auxiliary recovery method.

2. The TCM principle of moxibustion in treating uterine fibroids

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that uterine fibroids are a symptom of blood stasis caused by long-term inability to express emotions. Therefore, moxibustion is effective in treating uterine fibroids. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that due to the characteristics of Qi and blood flowing when preheated and coagulating when encountering cold, the use of moxibustion to treat uterine fibroids is very effective. Moxibustion therapy is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy with a history of two thousand years. It utilizes the principle of "Qi and blood will flow when warmed" and uses moxa sticks to infiltrate the prepared Chinese medicine into the body through acupuncture points. It treats diseases through the conduction of meridians and has the effects of dispersing nodules, warming Qi and blood, etc.

3. How to use moxibustion to treat uterine fibroids

The specific operation method of moxibustion treatment of uterine fibroids is: use moxibustion equipment, preferably four fire dragon cups, cut the moxa sticks into 4-5 cm lengths, light them, and insert them into the cups for use. Take Shenque, Guanyuan and Yongquan (2) and place the cups on these 4 acupoints. Then light another moxa stick and apply moxibustion to Taixi and Sanyinjiao (the effect will be better if you do it after soaking your feet).

4. Effect of moxibustion on the treatment of uterine fibroids

Patients should be reminded that moxibustion treatment of uterine fibroids is a very long process. It cannot be completely cured in a few days or a dozen days. It may take more than half a year and may not necessarily be completely cured. Therefore, it is not the most ideal treatment option.
